I cannot believe that I am reading statements like a have read on this thread ragging on girls who choose to study instead of attend a mixer. I thought getting an education was why these girls are in college.

You can skip a mixer if you want (at least in my chapter), I think the point that was being made is that by continually skipping fun events to study, you're not getting the full experience.

Now if something is a mandatory event like chapter, studying is not an excuse. Many times, girls have PLENTY of time outside of class and sorority events to study, but don't use their time wisely (ex: that hour you spent on Facebook=potential study time.) Then they whine about not having time to study. You need to bugdet your time so that you can study and attend events.
